The University of Bath
The University of Bath has an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research and is consistently ranked amongst the top UK universities by The Times Good University Guide. Living and studying at Bath, you will become part of a relatively small, academically select community, in a safe and friendly city. Its size compared with many other British institutions allows Bath to deliver the highest standards of postgraduate education in a stimulating but calm environment.
Our students benefit from:
- state-of-the-art facilities to support both basic and strategic research

- a Research Portfolio currently in excess of £92 million
- one-year Masters provision including innovative and often interdisciplinary subject areas

- excellent academic and welfare support within a compact campus environment, including a Postgraduate Association run by postgraduates for postgraduates
